Madam, – The proposals for St Stephen’s Green (Home News, August 4th) are daunting. What is proposed will ruin most of the Green. Of course we must have an underground station, but why does the necessary excavation have to involve the destruction of the lake and numerous mature trees?
The ventilation structure proposed is far too intrusive – other cities can display much smaller ones. Why cannot we have progress without destroying so much of the landscape? – Yours, etc,
